2 Litre engine block color

[Mikey]

Am about to paint my engine block now back from rebuilder, and I was wondering was there an actual factory color[s] the blocks were painted? Are there color codes for same?

one suggestion , chose a color that easily reveals oil stains, painting the engine block black just covers the truth

LOL good one marko!

I just painted mine semi-gloss black. Not too much gloss, yet will show all the oil leaks LOL.

What oil stains? Both my TR7's didn't have any oil stains but they did have surface rust. (not enough oil stains.[:)])

Just solved the only oil stain I got on the Spider by changing copper seal on the oil drain plug. (Used it once too often.)

No more tell tail spots on the cardboard slipped under the car.
